Re: 55$, flop decision - top pair

fold. crushed against AK/AQ/AT/A9 floats. flipping against multi draws. V unlikely to float worse A and raise hard vv utg raise.

different answer if you raise MP and he floats BTN.

Re: 55$, flop decision - top pair

folding seems pretty awful given board texture

he has hardly any of these combos due to pre imo.

sure np, but what's V's range here? Hero's hand following utg raise and protecting/cbet seems transparent.

I think AK and possibly AQ are discounted as are 99 and TT to some extent due to the stack sizes pre flop. Randoms gonna random though, not to mention all the QJo and suited ace draws. May shove some Tx, I know it's not logical but I'v seen it enough.

Call and hold on tight cause chances are he's got some type of draw that your going to have to survive. Can't see him pushing 2 pair+ or A with small kicker. Given pot size and his stack size very good chance he has some type of draw giving you a slight edge. Can't see you dominated by AQ or AK here.
